First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

High-throughput sequencing technologies with short read data pose a new challenge to the current three-phase assembly methodology: Overlap-Phase, Layout-Phase, and Consensus-Phase. We describe a new consensus method that is robust in the face of high coverage, shorter reads, and genomic variation.
